Louisvill September 4th 1863
To his Excellency Thomas E. Bramblette
Dear Sir

I take the liberty of introducing to you Mr J. H. Price, a practicing Lawyer of this place, and a member of the City council of Louisvill.

Mr Price goes to Frankfort, as I understand, to solicit the pardon of a negro woman who stands convicted of a capital crime by the Judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court. I know nothing of the merits of the case, but Mr Price seems to be very confident of the innocence of the woman, and therefore seeks the relieve her from the sentence against her- He will of course make known the grounds of his belief.

Yours with great respect &c
T. A. Marshall
